Bath and bed have always been the prime focus in the guest rooms, but the major aspect in the upcoming days will be the level of sophistication which went missing post-pandemic with organisations reverting to the bare minimum. With occupancy increasing and the guests' expectations at an all-time high, the need to get luxury bath linen and environmentally friendly bath amenities would enable hotels to retain their guests.
NEW-AGE FACTOR
The hospitality industry remains an ever-evolving space as trends and preferences continue to emerge as more and more people begin to travel once again. When you walk into a hotel or a homestay room, the first thing you look at is the bathroom, a key factor, especially for the Indian traveller. The other aspect is the bed; especially to see if it is clean and hygienic, and comfortable as well.
Rohit Sethi, Founder of Seclude Homestays & Boutique Resorts, says, "Hotels have moved away from conventional tiling, standard fittings and ceramic wash basins and has gone to inventive design using natural materials and out of the box thinking. Standard Hotel linen is replaced by towels made from Green recycled materials, décor is gone from using paint to moving to limestone finishes, and furniture has moved away from engineered wood to recycled and restored options. A room is now about a story, and not just a place to sleep."
AMENITIES THAT MATTER
Currently, there are two ways to look at bath amenities. Firstly, hotels are getting bath amenities designed and customised for guests. This trend has been in place for a while now. Hotels are also looking at eco-friendly amenities to reduce single-use plastic waste. Regarding beds, different hotels have different themes.
